Great video! I’m brand new to the Apple ecosystem. If I purchase the Apple Watch series 3 gps and not the cellular version, will I still receive texts and email notifications? Thank you!
Silent alarm. I get up early for exercise and don’t want to wake my wife. The silent alarm tapping my wrist wakes me up. Silent ringing as well. In an office environment, ringing mobiles are distracting but my phone is always on silent and my watch taps my arm for incoming calls. Simple, but the simple things make life easy
Chef it takes no more than 2 hr to charge and for me lasts 48 hrs use (that’s all alerts etc turned on, Apple Pay for everything, some calls and SMS done by watch) so I charge my Apple Watch after dinner every couple of days then put it back on my wrist before bed. I suppose people who use it to track running & riding (I use a Wahoo Elemnt for that) only get 24 hrs

Let’ face it: if you have to actively look up reasons why you could possibly need something - you probably don’t need it. That being said, I still want it.
that phrase is very misleading for apple products. some features are not relatable to you at all while other features make or break your entire reason for the purchase.
I've done it both ways. My cat once flung my watch off into the distance while it was charging and I pinged it, the flashing green heartrate monitor was super helpful in finding it.
I resisted the idea of owning an Apple Watch until I was diagnosed with heart failure. On the day when I was discharged from the hospital, my cardiologist suggested that I might want to buy one, because it has several features for monitoring my heart health (and my blood oxygen level, which can be an issue if my heart isn't performing efficiently). Series 7 was the current model at that time, but I knew I could save money by buying an older model. I determined that a Series 4 or later would provide the heart health features I needed. But I opted for Series 6, because that's the model that added Fall Detection. I'm 62 years old and I live alone, so a feature that can call emergency services and notify my family if I fall and become unresponsive seems like a REALLY good idea. And my iPhone can't do that. I've had the watch for three months, and I keep finding new uses for it. I definitely don't regret buying it. And it just may help keep me alive.
Hello Patrick, sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I am glad to hear you got an Apple Watch to help look out for you help. That fall detection is a great one to have. I hope it gives you and your family some peace of mind. Thank you for sharing your experience and for watching. Stay healthy Patrick.
I have to admit, Apple Pay on my Watch made my trip to London so much easier. Just straight through the turnstiles for the Tube and onto the bus, didn't need to get my wallet or anything out. Amazingly simple
Hello Jude, it is impressive how much use outside of the US you can get with Apple Pay. I do like it is getting better in the US. I use it every chance I can. I have only used my watch a handful of times. It makes more sense now to use the watch so you can keep the phone and wallet in the pocket.
Craig's Tech Talk I agree. I was actually shocked just how easy it is and how high the payment threshold. I had accidentally left my card at home without realizing, and went to the store. The total was over 100€ and it went through on Apple Pay. I had thought it was 30€ max, but I was so glad it wasn’t on that day lol
That’s great that it was high enough. I had forgot my wallet recently and was glad to see that the little hardware store took Apple Pay. The good thing is that Apple Pay needs a pin or biometrics to protect that high payment limit.
As a person with ADHD I use it all the time for setting reminders when I think of something. Even something 10 minutes away I get distracted. If we ever have a pandemic the touchless pay is simply the best. Keeping up to date with shares and notes is also cool. I could not do without it and when asked by my wife why I bought it didn’t know! I just wanted one! As a small business owner I can answer enquiries immediately and that more than pays for the watch! Good move!
Thank you very much Robert. I don’t know where to get one cheap. I would hold off on getting one until after the next Apple event that is supposed to bring the 6. Then you should see some good deals on existing stock.
Also, because I’m a grownup I called my husband from my watch while I was in the shower and he was in the living room. I asked him if it was raining in there too.
ApolloMemories my screen popped off and when I contacted Apple they asked if I used it in the shower because the heat can weaken the silicone and other adhesives.
Michael Hidalgo what the fuck that’s insane, thank you for telling me that. I’m going to research around but I won’t be taking my watch in the hot shower any time soon.
Being able to receive/make phone calls, receive messages and dictate responses was incredibly helpful when hospitalised and confined to bed with very restricted movement. Streaming music to blue tooth earphones also great. I have had the occasion to use fall detect. Unashamedly a huge fan.
That is great that you’ve been able to put it to good use. Especially being in the hospital, dictating, phone calls and music are very nice options to have. Glad to hear that it has been a good purchase for you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Have a great day.
I have a series 4. Love it for the activity reminders and sending texts. Also love feeling like James Bond when I answer the phone by talking to my wrist. Haha
My exercise is going through the roof since buying this watch! I'm addicted to closing all my rings last month I lost 9 lbs from just being aware of my activity!
I hate having my phone on me at work, running around a restaurant and never being in the same place for longer than a minute. Now that I have the watch I can leave my phone in the back in my bag, and not have to worry about any urgent texts or calls. PLUS now I can actually keep track of my steps and how much I move. Turns out its ALOT.
I was walking to the Apple Store today, to see what nice functions the Apple Watch has. I was genuinely convinced that it’s a great product, but as I was scrolling through the App Store, I found out that there isn’t Spotify for watches. That makes streaming music a lot more difficult. By the way If you have Wi Fi on I can stream music from the Apple Watch to, am I right?
And don’t forget about the flashlight! There’s a super bright mode, a strobe mode, and a red SOS mode! It has come in handy many many times for me already.
Music controls is great. It is especially nice if the phone is in your pocket like you said. To be able to play, pause, change track and volume is great. Thanks for sharing and watching.
Just like the iPad, when they first came out you couldn’t see the point of them, after a couple of months use you couldn’t live without one. For those of us with older Macs (2015 MacBook Pro) the unlock with Apple Watch feature is 👌🏾. My other main uses are Apple Pay and responding to messages.
Hi, that’s a great video. You say a lot of people say that you can do all those things with your phone. But all those things that you showed, besides activity tracking, can be done with a phone…. Why should I buy an Apple Watch for dictation or reminding? I can do all those things with my phone. Even the step counting, if I leave the phone in my pocket. 🤔
Thank you very much. I think if anyone who says the phone can do the same thing is completely missing the point of the Watch. Biggest benefit is not pulling the phone out constantly for every vibration. Which we all know at least 50% of those notifications are garbage and a waste of pulling the phone out. For those that don’t see that as a benefit, cool. To each there own. But for me that is the point beyond comparing features. Thanks for watching.
@@CraigsTechTalk Ah ok, that makes sense. I'm not using notifications on the phone because of the garbage, as you say 😅 The only ones that are turned on are bank apps. I actually love the watch design and struggling to buy one or not. Never found a sense for me ... I would buy it if the watch would give me really features, that an iPhone does not have at all and it is very useful. Not just a watch face, or payment option. A real innovation. Thanks a lot for responding. Appreciate that very much. The most RUclipsrs don't do it! Have a great week!
Hello Brett, glad to hear you’re enjoying your 3. Joe, I am using the cellular version. I think it’s great to be able to disconnect from the phone. The big changes between the 3 and 5 are the screen size, the processor and always on display. The 4 was the biggest change and the 5 is minor upgrade from the 4. Thank you both for watching.
Great info Craig, Thank you! Question: Can I have my iPhone in "Do Not Disturb" mode in order to film videos and use just my SE with Cellular to answer and send text and calls from my GF and kids?
I just love that it takes away the stress of having to constantly check my phone. I rely on reminders and calendar events to help me remember what I need to do every day, mainly at uni but also in day to day life. I don't like carrying my phone in my hand, but I don't want to miss any reminders. The watch is always on me and I can walk away from my devices if I want but still make sure I don't miss reminders or important messages. Some people think constantly having a device attached to you makes you more addicted to technology, but for me it's so freeing because I don't have to pick up my phone all the time - I can just check the notification on my watch, if it's important I go and attend to it, if it's not I carry on with my day! Perfect little device that has been a game changer and helped me remember everything I need to do. 😄
That is great that you are feeling free from your phone with it. That is one of the biggest benefits I see too. Like you said, you can put the phone down and get notifications for things you may need to attend. We need our phones for work and communication. To get away from the distractions of the phone is nice. Thanks for sharing and watching.
I so agree with you. Apple Watch really helps you to be more carefree, as you don't need to constantly check your phone. When I come home, I just leave iPhone somewhere and I'm still connected, available and reachable.
@@jewelnabq01i would recommend it if you can afford it! You can always cancel the cellular plan if you feel like you don’t need it. Personally I always end up coming back to it, it’s only £5 a month for me. I like being able to go out of the house carrying nothing :) I also have AirPods now so those with the watch are perfect!
I made an app which also act as phone insurance. If you forget iPhone or someone stoles it, this app notifies you on Apple Watch that iPhone is not reachable.
That's so strange... This video was supposed to convince me to get an Apple Watch, but it actually proved to me why I didn't need one. Literally all of those features are already on my iPhone (except ECG/heart rate). I was going to say that I'd probably use the podcast/audiobook/music feature of the Watch, but I bring my phone with my everywhere anyway (including my runs). People would argue "Why not just get a Watch so you don't have to bring your phone?" My argument against that is "Why not just bring your phone and save the $500??". The Activity/Workout/Heart Rate/ECG feature was also drawing me to the Watch, but if you're a young and experienced lifter/runner, does it matter?... Maybe once I'm 40 I'll get my first Apple Watch and that's 12 years away. In 12 years, I bet we've already got tech implanted into our brains, so I don't think I'll ever get an Apple Watch at this rate. This video's actually convinced me that the Apple Watch is literally a luxury item. It's not a "need". I have no doubt that it's 100% a "want".
I am glad that the video helped with your buying decision. I think it is better to see what it can do before spending the money. The biggest thing about the Apple Watch is not replacing your phone, but instead not having to always interact with your phone. Of course your phone will do almost everyone of these features. This is meant for people who want to use the fitness side, do things without pulling out their phone or walk away from the phone and still be able to get information they want. If that is not you, then definitely don’t buy one and just use your phone. I don’t think this is a luxury item at its price point. But rather a device for people who want to handle information differently than you. Thank you for watching. Have a great day.
You are welcome. I don’t think you meant any I’ll-will with your comment. I just offered my own response and do think it is great that it helped you decide you didn’t need one. It’s easy to think a product might be a good match and it isn’t after you learn more about it. Thanks for your comment and response.
@@kvncnls no missed calls and urgent messages ever esp when peeing and whe phone is left in another room. Check the comments to see msny things not mentioned in the video. Airtags are coming soon. But tile is also helpful
these points are so true! it really is a luxury item. i think i’m mostly wanting an apple watch bc from my experience of owning a watch that tracks my fitness (i own a huawei gt) it motivates me to keep active and sleep better (sleep tracking). also one thing i notice is that i pull out my phone less and so i’m tempted to mindlessly scroll on random social media.. also i don’t constantly check my phone now. but it does make me wonder what i’ll use my phone for now 😂 but yeah i think its especially useful for older people though (emergency calls, ECGs). i’m also going to be a doctor soon so i’m going to be on my feet & busy most of the time and i think the notifications feature and being able to set reminders really quickly will help a lot.
Before my iPhone 13 Pro Max could easily run me two days on battery with regular use, now with the Apple Watch Series 6, I can literally get 3-4 days easily. Fantastic!
My number one use is for my series 5 is the work out app. I am obsessed with closing my workout rings everyday! Learned a lot though from your video! Great video. You have a new subscriber!
Thank you Bruce for the nice comment. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. That is great that you are finding that extra motivation with closing your rings. It is nice that it can help with your help. I appreciate you watching and wanting to stick around for future videos. Thanks Bruce.
Apple Pay is awesome. That is cool you are taking advantage of it on your watch. It does make it convenient not having to pull out your phone. Thanks for watching.
@@CraigsTechTalk It's super convenient in places with lots of integrated rapid transport with contactless readers all over the place like the Tube in London.
I was in the same boat, never saw the need for an Apple Watch until I could afford one and decided to treat myself over Christmas. Got the SE and love it, use it every day. Thanks for some of the hints on how to use it more.
@@rheireal I've not worn any watch in maybe 10-15 years, what's the point with a cellphone? But there is something about looking at you wrist that saves time compared to getting your phone out. Thats before all all the apps and features and watch faces. Personally I think its well worth the money, especially the SE.
@@rheireal Why not just order it from Apple for the same price and free shipping to your door? All I did was check them out in store then ordered one online.
@@lancer1993 oh i have an e-gift code to use so i have to go to a particular store to avail it. there’s a stock in one store that is in another city but it was heavy traffic at the time, didn’t go, just went home.
Hello Marlene, my apologies for the delayed response. Thank you very much. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Thank is great that you are finding so much value in your watch. Thank you for watching and sharing.
I have a Series 6 watch and like to sleep track. Does my phone have to be on in order for the watch to do this and can I shut the phone off and still have the watch track sleep??
I’m hoping to be able to use mine for BBQ cooking. I hope it will take a load off of me trying to keep track of how long each item has been in the smokers, cook times, when to wrap, etc.
Yes they do. You can control your notifications in the Apple Watch app on your phone. By default notifications mirror the iPhone. But you can turn off notifications and customize some of them.
Why does my Apple Watch SE model say driving directions not available, it asks me for the specific location ( just like your video) and then I get a message saying directions not available?
i just switched to the iphone 13 pro after being an android user for probably 5 years at this point. Prior to that i switched between windows phone, ios and android a few times. So impressed with the iphone 13 pro, i knew i was in for a good thing because for the last several months i've also used a iphone se as my work phone. I have always loved the appeal of the apple watch and now i am a regular IOS user i will definitely be purchasing a apple watch probably by the end of the year. Excited for the new model!
I love how if you have deep pockets and your phone is deep inside them someone calls you, instead of looking for your phone and missing that important call you can just flick the answer on the watch. It’s so convenient actually
So i can use handsfree siri, timers, maps, mail, calls, reminders, calendars, music, & apple play with the watch? Can't i do all that with an iphone 4?
Great top ten list - I think calendar reminders and messages with the ability to dictate are my favorites. But I also have a chronograph face with complications that are designed for walking - temp. Workout, AQI, Activity - all make a nice “workout face”.
i have the series 3 and i love it! the only thing i wish it has is camera, working cellular for not supported countries, spotify downloads and no buttons/holes to improve water resistance. then im good to go. i dont need a phone.. sadly those features might never be a reality..but im still hoping
I enjoy using the "tip" button in the calculator for restaurants. Also setting the background to the photos app, I get hit with all sorts of nostalgia throughout the day as I glance down.. Super fun.
i keep asking my mom for an apple watch😭 everyone in my household has a smart watch but me, but i’ve always really wanted one. but i don’t know why i actually want it. so i’m watching this video to explain to my parents why i want one 🤣🤣
I love my Apple Watch. And now I’ve added the wristcam and I have data on my watch so now I can maybe leave my phone at home Any Alexa suggestions for the Apple Watch
Hey Craig, I love the way your shots are lit! Other than your lifx lighting in three back how do you light your shot (more specifically your person and table).
Hi Thanks for the wonderful tips on the Apple watch. I have a question. i use google calendar. which calendar do you use? can I syn google calendar with the one use are using?
Excellent list (I laughed at you having the Watch remind you to get the laundry -- that's key use for me! Reminders for the grocery list is another use I haven't seen anyone else do, but which is big for me). Another use I really like is a sleep tracker. I have always had sleep issues and the Watch has done more to help me understand my sleep patterns than any sleep study test I've ever done. I also use my phone to track my food intake -- all my usuals are programmed into my food tracker so there's no excuse not to track as I don't need my phone nearby. I live in Mexico where the recipes are usually by weight and with oven temps in Celsius, so I'm always using my app to convert measurements when I'm cooking. The Watch is missing two key features, though. I can't believe it is not able to write a note! And a simple translator would be great. Phone and iPad Siri can answer, "Hey, Siri, what is X in Spanish?" so why can't Watch Siri? I think the Watch's main flaw is that its use is not obvious until you get one. I have a friend who has endlessly mocked my Watch, saying he has a paper calendar that does that or his phone to do something else or his brain can remember things. And then one day, he was with me when I had a really bad fall, fall detection engaged, and he saw that my Watch was poised to call emergency services. He then started to pay more attention to how I use my Watch, especially Reminders. I doubt he'll ever get one, but at least now, he's in awe rather than mocking mode.
Hello Rae, glad you found that humorous. I tend to forget the laundry and need the reminders. Very cool you are using grocery list. Syncing groceries is awesome. No excuses for not getting what you want from the store. It works so well on the Apple Watch. That is great it is working well for sleep tracking. That is good to know. That would be cool if there was a translator on the watch. I think it is easy for people to dismiss the Apple Watch until they learn what it can do. That is great that your friend is coming around and not giving you a hard time. Thank you for sharing your experience and for watching.
It can still track walking. It will use the accelerometer and the walking data it has gathered from your walks while on GPS. When doing indoor walks it doesn’t use GPS, but will tell you to walk 20 minutes or so outside to get it calibrated for your work outs.
Would love if you compared it with google 😊 I’m in progress of new phone and I’m lost😩 I have a smart home and a couple of nest mini, today I use a iPhone XS and apple watch but Siri is kinda stupid compared with google 🥴 often Siri lights up my hole house when I tell her to open the garage door🤷♂️ it never happens with google... often Siri mess up commands... But I’m not sure a Samsung phone and a android watch will work as good overall as a iPhone and Apple Watch do together 🥴
I know this is a year late, but i have a question: Is it possible to run a cellular Apple Watch without an iPhone at all, with an iPad. This way i can do my calls and texts through the cellular connection on the Watch and do everything else on iPad (and even handle calls/messages through the paired iPad). I have this idea about ditching the phone completely and just get myself a cellular Watch + iPad and get rid of my iPhone (which would be redundant in this case).
I get it but what about Apple Pay (especially in age of Covid) 2 factor authentication Opening your computer when you sit down without touching it! Weather!
Those are also some great uses. Thank you for sharing Phillip and for some watching. The authentication and opening the computer is handy. I have recently started using Apple Pay more on the watch since COVID. I made this video Pre COVID or would have pointed that out more.
@@CraigsTechTalk well you had me at "what do you need an Apple Watch for?" and I felt the same way, now like you I find it so handy its on my wrist unless its charging :-). great video thank you for makiing it.
My wife travels a lot for work, and sometimes I drive her, if I have a few days off. If she wants to sleep, I usually listen to music to stay awake to drive, so I stream Apple Music through my AirPods. I typically will listen to albums/playlists on long trips. If I were to touch my phone while I’m driving, the bright light from my phone will wake her up. So if I want to skip or pause a song, I use my Apple Watch to navigate, instead of my iPhone, so that the light from my iPhone will not wake her up.
That is very nice of you to drive your wife so she can sleep. Also very considerate to use the watch for controls. I like that you have it dialed in for that and navigation. Thanks for sharing and for watching.
Great video , wife and I are getting 2 for Christmas. We are old and I felt the need to keep up with each other. I bought the SE's Because the salesman said the EKG and Ox sensor were not accurate ??? Will the Walkie Talkie be useful ? Thank you. Merry Christmas and remember the reason for the season !
Sleep tracking with Autosleep is excellent. Love the noise app and the compass too. Siri with the Irish female voice I have downloaded is great too. Only downside is battery life of 1 - 2 days but not found it to be a problem in practice. Using GPS activity tracking has surprisingly little impact on the battery and I use that a lot. Generally have about 40 - 50% left at the end of the day, easily enough for sleep tracking and it charges up pretty quickly the next morning.
Joshua, definitely happy to leave my phone at home when I don’t want the distractions. Doesn’t matter what the phone cost. It’s nice not being tied to a phone for long periods of times and yet still get important information and stay in contact if needed. If you don’t have a cellular watch or do not see the value in it, you wouldn’t understand.
Hello Bruce, good to hear you are loving your Apple Watch. I am right there with you. I like going hiking and leaving the phone in the car. People can call me or text and I have my music and audio books still. No other distractions that the notifications and apps can bring on the phone.
I have a 6S IPhone. It’s been paid for about 3 years. I’m old school... l’m not taking pictures or constantly texting. I live in the moment and I’m surprised at how much people miss out on while looking at their screens.
Hi, everyone. If I get GPS Apple Watch and it’s connected to my phone will I receive emails on the watch and be able to reply to the email if the phone is connected to 4G/5G?

I've had the watch for three months, and I keep finding new uses for it. I definitely don't regret buying it. And it just may help keep me alive.
Hello Patrick, sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I am glad to hear you got an Apple Watch to help look out for you help. That fall detection is a great one to have. I hope it gives you and your family some peace of mind.

I have to admit, Apple Pay on my Watch made my trip to London so much easier. Just straight through the turnstiles for the Tube and onto the bus, didn't need to get my wallet or anything out. Amazingly simple
I have to admit, Apple Pay hasn’t even been set up on my iPhone.
Michael Hidalgo same, never use it
Hello Jude, it is impressive how much use outside of the US you can get with Apple Pay. I do like it is getting better in the US. I use it every chance I can. I have only used my watch a handful of times. It makes more sense now to use the watch so you can keep the phone and wallet in the pocket.
Craig's Tech Talk I agree. I was actually shocked just how easy it is and how high the payment threshold. I had accidentally left my card at home without realizing, and went to the store. The total was over 100€ and it went through on Apple Pay. I had thought it was 30€ max, but I was so glad it wasn’t on that day lol
That’s great that it was high enough. I had forgot my wallet recently and was glad to see that the little hardware store took Apple Pay. The good thing is that Apple Pay needs a pin or biometrics to protect that high payment limit.
As a person with ADHD I use it all the time for setting reminders when I think of something. Even something 10 minutes away I get distracted. If we ever have a pandemic the touchless pay is simply the best. Keeping up to date with shares and notes is also cool. I could not do without it and when asked by my wife why I bought it didn’t know! I just wanted one! As a small business owner I can answer enquiries immediately and that more than pays for the watch!
Good move!
Nice video man! Where to get one cheap? Thanks
bought mine on iwatchclone com , best quality
@@damirplanic8853 me too , they are best
Thank you very much Robert. I don’t know where to get one cheap. I would hold off on getting one until after the next Apple event that is supposed to bring the 6. Then you should see some good deals on existing stock.
I legitimately gave this video a like because you were amazing enough to mute the word "Siri" so my phone didn't freak out
I’ve never understood that. Siri works on voice recognition. Even the HomePod just says “Who is this?”
Michael Hidalgo Ya my Siri only responds to my voice idk what’s up with these people’s phones 😂
@@Icegrip12 same but I think there is a setting that lets Siri reply to anyone
Me too! 😂🤣 Super thoughtful
Also, because I’m a grownup I called my husband from my watch while I was in the shower and he was in the living room. I asked him if it was raining in there too.
You really shouldn’t do that. The heat can make the screen come off.
Michael Hidalgo lmaoooo what? Where did you read that
ApolloMemories my screen popped off and when I contacted Apple they asked if I used it in the shower because the heat can weaken the silicone and other adhesives.
Michael Hidalgo what the fuck that’s insane, thank you for telling me that. I’m going to research around but I won’t be taking my watch in the hot shower any time soon.
kilsnacks that’s what they asked me.
Being able to receive/make phone calls, receive messages and dictate responses was incredibly helpful when hospitalised and confined to bed with very restricted movement. Streaming music to blue tooth earphones also great. I have had the occasion to use fall detect. Unashamedly a huge fan.
That is great that you’ve been able to put it to good use. Especially being in the hospital, dictating, phone calls and music are very nice options to have. Glad to hear that it has been a good purchase for you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Have a great day.
I have a series 4. Love it for the activity reminders and sending texts. Also love feeling like James Bond when I answer the phone by talking to my wrist. Haha
Knight Rider, talking to KITT. 😄
My exercise regularity has gone up significantly, since I got an Apple Watch..
That is great. Any device that helps your help is a good thing. Thanks for watching and sharing.
My exercise is going through the roof since buying this watch! I'm addicted to closing all my rings last month I lost 9 lbs from just being aware of my activity!
you could do that without a watch
@@JudgeSim2 being healthy is the end goal. How you get there doesn’t matter.
Got my watch a couple months ago, but I’m still working on it 😂
I hate having my phone on me at work, running around a restaurant and never being in the same place for longer than a minute. Now that I have the watch I can leave my phone in the back in my bag, and not have to worry about any urgent texts or calls. PLUS now I can actually keep track of my steps and how much I move. Turns out its ALOT.
I was walking to the Apple Store today, to see what nice functions the Apple Watch has. I was genuinely convinced that it’s a great product, but as I was scrolling through the App Store, I found out that there isn’t Spotify for watches. That makes streaming music a lot more difficult. By the way If you have Wi Fi on I can stream music from the Apple Watch to, am I right?
As far as I know, Apple does not load any 3rd party software on there demo watches. Spotify can be downloaded on the watch and used over WiFi.
@@CraigsTechTalk thanks mate
And don’t forget about the flashlight! There’s a super bright mode, a strobe mode, and a red SOS mode! It has come in handy many many times for me already.
Did not know that. Gotta check that out
handy when you need light inside a dark porta potty
I think the red mode is to not destroy your night vision, the same reason photographic darkrooms use red light.
Do all apple watches have these features?
I love the most, listen music and change the volume with the watch, best feature, never take the iPhone from the pocket.
Music controls is great. It is especially nice if the phone is in your pocket like you said. To be able to play, pause, change track and volume is great. Thanks for sharing and watching.
How accurate are the calories burned? I would be using it mainly for that...
Just like the iPad, when they first came out you couldn’t see the point of them, after a couple of months use you couldn’t live without one. For those of us with older Macs (2015 MacBook Pro) the unlock with Apple Watch feature is 👌🏾. My other main uses are Apple Pay and responding to messages.
Still don’t have an iPad no need for mw
Can someone tell me if this watch can be used for the blind? My boyfriend is blind and anything that helps him out is great. Thanks
It is especially convenient at work places where they have strictly phone policy
I just love using mines to see who’s calling and my emails
That’s why I got mine
So who’s getting me one?? I can’t even afford it🥺
Hi, that’s a great video. You say a lot of people say that you can do all those things with your phone. But all those things that you showed, besides activity tracking, can be done with a phone….
Why should I buy an Apple Watch for dictation or reminding? I can do all those things with my phone. Even the step counting, if I leave the phone in my pocket. 🤔
Thank you very much. I think if anyone who says the phone can do the same thing is completely missing the point of the Watch. Biggest benefit is not pulling the phone out constantly for every vibration. Which we all know at least 50% of those notifications are garbage and a waste of pulling the phone out. For those that don’t see that as a benefit, cool. To each there own. But for me that is the point beyond comparing features. Thanks for watching.
@@CraigsTechTalk Ah ok, that makes sense. I'm not using notifications on the phone because of the garbage, as you say 😅
The only ones that are turned on are bank apps.
I actually love the watch design and struggling to buy one or not. Never found a sense for me ...
I would buy it if the watch would give me really features, that an iPhone does not have at all and it is very useful.
Not just a watch face, or payment option.
A real innovation.
Thanks a lot for responding. Appreciate that very much. The most RUclipsrs don't do it!
Have a great week!
I just got an Apple Watch series 3 and I am liking it so far.
Do you have a cellular version ? Also, I am hearing good things about the 3. How do you compare it to the 5 ? Thank you for any comments.
Hello Brett, glad to hear you’re enjoying your 3.
Joe, I am using the cellular version. I think it’s great to be able to disconnect from the phone. The big changes between the 3 and 5 are the screen size, the processor and always on display. The 4 was the biggest change and the 5 is minor upgrade from the 4. Thank you both for watching.
If you leave it somewhere far away, like 2-5 hours away, can you get notifications calls and other stuff?
Great info Craig, Thank you! Question: Can I have my iPhone in "Do Not Disturb" mode in order to film videos and use just my SE with Cellular to answer and send text and calls from my GF and kids?
my wrist wake stopped working...boo!! can you tell me how to fix this problem? I have tried many things with no luck
I just love that it takes away the stress of having to constantly check my phone. I rely on reminders and calendar events to help me remember what I need to do every day, mainly at uni but also in day to day life. I don't like carrying my phone in my hand, but I don't want to miss any reminders. The watch is always on me and I can walk away from my devices if I want but still make sure I don't miss reminders or important messages. Some people think constantly having a device attached to you makes you more addicted to technology, but for me it's so freeing because I don't have to pick up my phone all the time - I can just check the notification on my watch, if it's important I go and attend to it, if it's not I carry on with my day! Perfect little device that has been a game changer and helped me remember everything I need to do. 😄
That is great that you are feeling free from your phone with it. That is one of the biggest benefits I see too. Like you said, you can put the phone down and get notifications for things you may need to attend. We need our phones for work and communication. To get away from the distractions of the phone is nice. Thanks for sharing and watching.
I so agree with you. Apple Watch really helps you to be more carefree, as you don't need to constantly check your phone. When I come home, I just leave iPhone somewhere and I'm still connected, available and reachable.
I am deciding to buy my first Apple watch now. Do you also recommend getting the cellular or is that just unneeded cost.
@@jewelnabq01i would recommend it if you can afford it! You can always cancel the cellular plan if you feel like you don’t need it. Personally I always end up coming back to it, it’s only £5 a month for me. I like being able to go out of the house carrying nothing :) I also have AirPods now so those with the watch are perfect!
@@leahevehumphries I am convinced. That; is the same reason I decided to get the watch. Ordered the cellular. Thanks for info.
i have a question?
can i use this watch was any android phone?
I use Apple Watch as phone insurance. Every time you take your phone out of your pocket is another chance to drop it.
Good excuse to buy it I think 🤔 I never thought of it that way! Genius I think 😺😸
I made an app which also act as phone insurance. If you forget iPhone or someone stoles it, this app notifies you on Apple Watch that iPhone is not reachable.
That's so true. It reduces the chances of me dropping my phone and also my phone getting stolen.
There is this thing called a case
Hey Craig I don’t quite understand when you say as long as your in the proximity of the phone ?
I answered that the first time you asked. Read that comment.
I think you’ve convinced me to get one of these so I can talk to it.
I have 2 echo studio paired speakers can I use it as Bluetooth speakers to connect to my phone and I want both speakers to play together
Super helpful. For years I thought the watch was unnecessary, but I'm starting to think differently. Maybe I'll get the 6 or SE
If I go to gym and I don’t want to carry my iPhone / just my watch can I listen music trough my iPod / alternative Bluetooth device ?
You can pair Bluetooth headphones. I have never tried other Bluetooth devices.
That's so strange... This video was supposed to convince me to get an Apple Watch, but it actually proved to me why I didn't need one.
Literally all of those features are already on my iPhone (except ECG/heart rate). I was going to say that I'd probably use the podcast/audiobook/music feature of the Watch, but I bring my phone with my everywhere anyway (including my runs). People would argue "Why not just get a Watch so you don't have to bring your phone?" My argument against that is "Why not just bring your phone and save the $500??". The Activity/Workout/Heart Rate/ECG feature was also drawing me to the Watch, but if you're a young and experienced lifter/runner, does it matter?... Maybe once I'm 40 I'll get my first Apple Watch and that's 12 years away. In 12 years, I bet we've already got tech implanted into our brains, so I don't think I'll ever get an Apple Watch at this rate.
This video's actually convinced me that the Apple Watch is literally a luxury item. It's not a "need". I have no doubt that it's 100% a "want".
I am glad that the video helped with your buying decision. I think it is better to see what it can do before spending the money.
The biggest thing about the Apple Watch is not replacing your phone, but instead not having to always interact with your phone. Of course your phone will do almost everyone of these features. This is meant for people who want to use the fitness side, do things without pulling out their phone or walk away from the phone and still be able to get information they want. If that is not you, then definitely don’t buy one and just use your phone. I don’t think this is a luxury item at its price point. But rather a device for people who want to handle information differently than you. Thank you for watching. Have a great day.
@@CraigsTechTalk Thanks for the sincere reply! I meant no ill-will with my comment.
You are welcome. I don’t think you meant any I’ll-will with your comment. I just offered my own response and do think it is great that it helped you decide you didn’t need one. It’s easy to think a product might be a good match and it isn’t after you learn more about it. Thanks for your comment and response.
@@kvncnls no missed calls and urgent messages ever esp when peeing and whe phone is left in another room. Check the comments to see msny things not mentioned in the video. Airtags are coming soon. But tile is also helpful
these points are so true! it really is a luxury item. i think i’m mostly wanting an apple watch bc from my experience of owning a watch that tracks my fitness (i own a huawei gt) it motivates me to keep active and sleep better (sleep tracking). also one thing i notice is that i pull out my phone less and so i’m tempted to mindlessly scroll on random social media.. also i don’t constantly check my phone now. but it does make me wonder what i’ll use my phone for now 😂 but yeah i think its especially useful for older people though (emergency calls, ECGs). i’m also going to be a doctor soon so i’m going to be on my feet & busy most of the time and i think the notifications feature and being able to set reminders really quickly will help a lot.
Can I get Libre app for checking blood glucose ?
Before my iPhone 13 Pro Max could easily run me two days on battery with regular use, now with the Apple Watch Series 6, I can literally get 3-4 days easily. Fantastic!
For example i live in australia then went for holiday in the philippines and get a new sim card am i be able talk in my own dialect in that country?
one of my favorites is the water lock -- especially for kayaking and getting all possible moisture out at the end. genius!
wait, which sport loop color is that? I’m dying to find one that looks just like it
lol. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used my nose to answer calls, end timers, and exit notifications while I’m Peeing.
I thought I’m the only one in the world who does wow love comments lol!
I have series 3, what kind of dial do you have? I can't fit so many icons on the DIsplay on any of my dials
I have a face that came out with the Series 4 or 5 I believe
My number one use is for my series 5 is the work out app. I am obsessed with closing my workout rings everyday! Learned a lot though from your video! Great video. You have a new subscriber!
Thank you Bruce for the nice comment. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. That is great that you are finding that extra motivation with closing your rings. It is nice that it can help with your help. I appreciate you watching and wanting to stick around for future videos. Thanks Bruce.
Please, what is the ap at 2:17 with many ‘complications’? Thanks!
I love Apple Pay on my watch. Best thing ever
Apple Pay is awesome. That is cool you are taking advantage of it on your watch. It does make it convenient not having to pull out your phone. Thanks for watching.
@@CraigsTechTalk It's super convenient in places with lots of integrated rapid transport with contactless readers all over the place like the Tube in London.
Close to that silver play button....keep pushing bro
Thank you very much. It is crazy that it’s close to happening. Thank you for the support. I appreciate it and you watching.
I was in the same boat, never saw the need for an Apple Watch until I could afford one and decided to treat myself over Christmas. Got the SE and love it, use it every day. Thanks for some of the hints on how to use it more.
how is it so far? i am about to buy today and still thinking twice about it.
@@rheireal I've not worn any watch in maybe 10-15 years, what's the point with a cellphone? But there is something about looking at you wrist that saves time compared to getting your phone out. Thats before all all the apps and features and watch faces. Personally I think its well worth the money, especially the SE.
@@lancer1993 i was out earlier to buy. unfortunately, SE was out of stock. not meant to be i guess.
@@rheireal Why not just order it from Apple for the same price and free shipping to your door? All I did was check them out in store then ordered one online.
@@lancer1993 oh i have an e-gift code to use so i have to go to a particular store to avail it. there’s a stock in one store that is in another city but it was heavy traffic at the time, didn’t go, just went home.
can you use the apple watch to stream music without the iphone for example going for a run just brining your watch and Bluetooth headphones?
Thanks a lot great information. I have an Apple Watch series 5 and absolutely could not do without it.
Hello Marlene, my apologies for the delayed response. Thank you very much. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Thank is great that you are finding so much value in your watch. Thank you for watching and sharing.
I have a Series 6 watch and like to sleep track. Does my phone have to be on in order for the watch to do this and can I shut the phone off and still have the watch track sleep??
Literally just got mine today trying to figure it out how else I can use it 😂😭
Which series is it that you wearing in video?
If Apple could make the battery life last for 1 week like Samsung smart watches than the Apple Watch would be the greatest watch!!
It's not possible with all features turned on
Those watches's gps are actually turned off.
It’s already the best lol
USA#1 !! 15 minutes 🙈
emm sorry but which samsung watches can last for 1 week? i tot it only last for 1 day.
or do u mean huawei watch gt 2 ?
Heart rate is showing reading on floor and bed as well for series 7.. is this true... plz tell me.. why did apple do this???
I use the timer all the time, for cooking, setting breaks at work, with no sound bothering other people.
I’m hoping to be able to use mine for BBQ cooking. I hope it will take a load off of me trying to keep track of how long each item has been in the smokers, cook times, when to wrap, etc.
Does your phone and the watch both vibrate when u get any sort of notification? If so can u Alter that?
Yes they do. You can control your notifications in the Apple Watch app on your phone. By default notifications mirror the iPhone. But you can turn off notifications and customize some of them.
I think you just redefined my use of the Apple Watch. Thank you! 👊😊
Thank you, that is great to hear that I could help with some new ideas. I hope it adds value. Thanks for checking out the video.
Why does my Apple Watch SE model say driving directions not available, it asks me for the specific location ( just like your video) and then I get a message saying directions not available?
All of the reasons why I am in love with my Series 6!
Oh ya.... the solo loop is everything🙌
Will the SE2 work on GSM and CDMA cellular
i just switched to the iphone 13 pro after being an android user for probably 5 years at this point. Prior to that i switched between windows phone, ios and android a few times. So impressed with the iphone 13 pro, i knew i was in for a good thing because for the last several months i've also used a iphone se as my work phone. I have always loved the appeal of the apple watch and now i am a regular IOS user i will definitely be purchasing a apple watch probably by the end of the year. Excited for the new model!
I been wanting to get one because my wrist feels too light without wearing a watch anymore. Should I get the series 7,3, or SE or what?
You should watch this video of mine on why you should wait. Thanks for watching. ruclips.net/video/7IhLgR6W2xw/видео.html
@@CraigsTechTalk I still have my iPhone XR and it’s been doing great but the only issue is the storage. Should I wait too or get a new phone soon
I love how if you have deep pockets and your phone is deep inside them someone calls you, instead of looking for your phone and missing that important call you can just flick the answer on the watch. It’s so convenient actually
If u have an iPhone and a new Apple Watch ur pockets r prob indeed quite deep. Edit: I have a Xs Max and a Apple Watch 3
Mike Lawton I’m on contract
I still hate the rings for activity. They bug me. Any other look available for activity other than the rings?
Trying to convince myself to get one this fall, so im here watching all the iwatch videos i can find on YT
I have been in your shoes with other tech. If any of these uses sound useful to you, then you have some reasons to go for it.
So i can use handsfree siri, timers, maps, mail, calls, reminders, calendars, music, & apple play with the watch? Can't i do all that with an iphone 4?
Great top ten list - I think calendar reminders and messages with the ability to dictate are my favorites. But I also have a chronograph face with complications that are designed for walking - temp. Workout, AQI, Activity - all make a nice “workout face”.
I'm interested to buy an Apple watch though I am really put off by its tiny battery. Your 8th point would drain it to the ends won't it?
i have the series 3 and i love it! the only thing i wish it has is camera, working cellular for not supported countries, spotify downloads and no buttons/holes to improve water resistance. then im good to go. i dont need a phone.. sadly those features might never be a reality..but im still hoping
Is the heart rate monitor accurate, also is there a community like Fitbit?
I enjoy using the "tip" button in the calculator for restaurants. Also setting the background to the photos app, I get hit with all sorts of nostalgia throughout the day as I glance down.. Super fun.
Dont other cheaper ones offer same choices? Fitbit and android ones?
i keep asking my mom for an apple watch😭 everyone in my household has a smart watch but me, but i’ve always really wanted one. but i don’t know why i actually want it. so i’m watching this video to explain to my parents why i want one 🤣🤣

Hi
Thanks for the wonderful tips on the Apple watch. I have a question. i use google calendar. which calendar do you use? can I syn google calendar with the one use are using?
Excellent list (I laughed at you having the Watch remind you to get the laundry -- that's key use for me! Reminders for the grocery list is another use I haven't seen anyone else do, but which is big for me). Another use I really like is a sleep tracker. I have always had sleep issues and the Watch has done more to help me understand my sleep patterns than any sleep study test I've ever done. I also use my phone to track my food intake -- all my usuals are programmed into my food tracker so there's no excuse not to track as I don't need my phone nearby. I live in Mexico where the recipes are usually by weight and with oven temps in Celsius, so I'm always using my app to convert measurements when I'm cooking. The Watch is missing two key features, though. I can't believe it is not able to write a note! And a simple translator would be great. Phone and iPad Siri can answer, "Hey, Siri, what is X in Spanish?" so why can't Watch Siri? I think the Watch's main flaw is that its use is not obvious until you get one. I have a friend who has endlessly mocked my Watch, saying he has a paper calendar that does that or his phone to do something else or his brain can remember things. And then one day, he was with me when I had a really bad fall, fall detection engaged, and he saw that my Watch was poised to call emergency services. He then started to pay more attention to how I use my Watch, especially Reminders. I doubt he'll ever get one, but at least now, he's in awe rather than mocking mode.
Hello Rae, glad you found that humorous. I tend to forget the laundry and need the reminders. Very cool you are using grocery list. Syncing groceries is awesome. No excuses for not getting what you want from the store. It works so well on the Apple Watch. That is great it is working well for sleep tracking. That is good to know. That would be cool if there was a translator on the watch. I think it is easy for people to dismiss the Apple Watch until they learn what it can do. That is great that your friend is coming around and not giving you a hard time. Thank you for sharing your experience and for watching.
Can a GPS apple watch track steps if there’s no phone around and you go for a walk in the park?
It can still track walking. It will use the accelerometer and the walking data it has gathered from your walks while on GPS. When doing indoor walks it doesn’t use GPS, but will tell you to walk 20 minutes or so outside to get it calibrated for your work outs.
Would love if you compared it with google 😊 I’m in progress of new phone and I’m lost😩 I have a smart home and a couple of nest mini, today I use a iPhone XS and apple watch but Siri is kinda stupid compared with google 🥴 often Siri lights up my hole house when I tell her to open the garage door🤷♂️ it never happens with google... often Siri mess up commands...
But I’m not sure a Samsung phone and a android watch will work as good overall as a iPhone and Apple Watch do together 🥴
I know this is a year late, but i have a question:
Is it possible to run a cellular Apple Watch without an iPhone at all, with an iPad. This way i can do my calls and texts through the cellular connection on the Watch and do everything else on iPad (and even handle calls/messages through the paired iPad). I have this idea about ditching the phone completely and just get myself a cellular Watch + iPad and get rid of my iPhone (which would be redundant in this case).
I get it but what about
Apple Pay (especially in age of Covid)
2 factor authentication
Opening your computer when you sit down without touching it!
Weather!
Those are also some great uses. Thank you for sharing Phillip and for some watching. The authentication and opening the computer is handy. I have recently started using Apple Pay more on the watch since COVID. I made this video Pre COVID or would have pointed that out more.
@@CraigsTechTalk well you had me at "what do you need an Apple Watch for?" and I felt the same way, now like you I find it so handy its on my wrist unless its charging :-). great video thank you for makiing it.
My wife travels a lot for work, and sometimes I drive her, if I have a few days off. If she wants to sleep, I usually listen to music to stay awake to drive, so I stream Apple Music through my AirPods. I typically will listen to albums/playlists on long trips.
If I were to touch my phone while I’m driving, the bright light from my phone will wake her up. So if I want to skip or pause a song, I use my Apple Watch to navigate, instead of my iPhone, so that the light from my iPhone will not wake her up.
That is very nice of you to drive your wife so she can sleep. Also very considerate to use the watch for controls. I like that you have it dialed in for that and navigation. Thanks for sharing and for watching.
Really enjoyed this video, keep it up!
Thank you Ed. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Thank you for the nice comment and watching.
Great video , wife and I are getting 2 for Christmas. We are old and I felt the need to keep up with each other. I bought the SE's Because the salesman said the EKG and Ox sensor were not accurate ??? Will the Walkie Talkie be useful ? Thank you. Merry Christmas and remember the reason for the season !
Sleep tracking with Autosleep is excellent. Love the noise app and the compass too. Siri with the Irish female voice I have downloaded is great too. Only downside is battery life of 1 - 2 days but not found it to be a problem in practice. Using GPS activity tracking has surprisingly little impact on the battery and I use that a lot. Generally have about 40 - 50% left at the end of the day, easily enough for sleep tracking and it charges up pretty quickly the next morning.
why does the female irish siri appeal to you?
When Apple watches no longer hold a full charge can battery be replaced with new one?
Love my cellular Apple Watch! I leave my phone home all day... I never have to remember where my phone is.... it’s on my wrist.
you're livin in 2030 mate
So you spend over $1000 on a phone to leave it at home. Got it 👍🏽
Joshua, definitely happy to leave my phone at home when I don’t want the distractions. Doesn’t matter what the phone cost. It’s nice not being tied to a phone for long periods of times and yet still get important information and stay in contact if needed. If you don’t have a cellular watch or do not see the value in it, you wouldn’t understand.
Hello Bruce, good to hear you are loving your Apple Watch. I am right there with you. I like going hiking and leaving the phone in the car. People can call me or text and I have my music and audio books still. No other distractions that the notifications and apps can bring on the phone.
I have a 6S IPhone. It’s been paid for about 3 years. I’m old school... l’m not taking pictures or constantly texting. I live in the moment and I’m surprised at how much people miss out on while looking at their screens.
To receive emails, is necessary to have the iPhone linked to Watch or also is running only in cellular mode?
Thanks.
you can receive emails if you are linked to iPhone, or Wifi or if you have watch with cellular mode
@@watch4myphone614 Ok, thank you!
I find it highly useful when riding my motorcycle, usually drive it on the daily and keeps from reaching the phone in my pocket
Hi, everyone. If I get GPS Apple Watch and it’s connected to my phone will I receive emails on the watch and be able to reply to the email if the phone is connected to 4G/5G?
Agree with everything you said one thing you forgot find my iPhone that’s brilliant!
